Which Houseplant Is Best for Your Lifestyle?
Snake plant
Snake plants are relatively low-maintenance house plants to have. Typically, snake plants require watering once every ten days. They’re also easy to fill around the home and are non-toxic, meaning safe for both pets and humans. Snake plants can tolerate direct sunlight but prefer indirect sunlight. The best place to keep snake plants is in a warm spot with pleasant weather year-round.
Succulents
Succulents are very low-maintenance and can be placed around the home in various areas. Some succulents can tolerate direct sunlight more than others, so it can make them great as a versatile addition to your home. Depending upon the succulent and the amount of light, you might only have to water a succulent once every 14-21 days. A helpful tip is to make sure these plants are potted with a drainage hole!
Fittonias
FIttonias, also known as mosaic and nerve plants, are non-toxic plants for humans and pets. Fittonias do require more maintenance than other plants, specifically that a Fittonia plant should be watered when one-fourth of the upper layer of soil is dry. Fittonias like humid environments. They can come in a variety of cool colors and intricate designs that are great to add a pop of color to your home!
Orchids
Orchids are not ideal for direct sunlight, and only require a little bit of watering about once a week. They are low-maintenance, but they are, indeed, delicate flowers. Orchids come in a variety of colors, so you can choose a color that matches the overall theme of your home decor. Orchids require a moderate amount of humidity in the environment, so they are fantastic in tropical places.
